If you string two Rubber Motors between the tail end and the front endpoints and put large hand-carved balsa propellers on them, you will have invented the Y-Framed Free flight model.

The one thing about this hobby is that there is NO limit to what we can imagine will work.
Keep up the good work.
Just imagine 10 years ago even thinking that Tricopters could fly.
A POX on those who limit their vision on what we can achieve in model flight.
Remember- the sky's the limit and there is lots of that stuff.

There are great articles on that site John!

Looks like you really need two Mach 12's on that guy Jack. I guess we would have to make sure they both ignite at exactly the same time! lol.
